Genomics & Bioinformatics

During the past two decades we saw an increasing number of living organisms, including the humans, whose complete genomes were made available by the ever-improving DNA-sequencing technologies. Bioinformatics, also known as computational molecular biology, is a new area of research focusing on the sequence, structural, and functional analysis of genomic data. The importance of genomics and bioinformatics research was best exemplified during the SARS outbreak in 2003.
